Current boss confirms Arsenal interest in £23m rated forward

There’s still (possibly) plenty of football to be played this season so Mikel Arteta and Arsenal could manage to scrape a Champions League place, but this always felt like a few months for the Spaniard to bed himself in ahead of next year.

It’s clear that the squad does need some added quality in a lot of positions, but it remains to be seen how much money he will be allowed to spend.

It’s something that Arsenal have been doing for years, but they need to take chances on talented youngsters or established players who may be out of favour – it’s rare they can just go and sign a ready made top-class player.
